Federal investigators uncovered a massive fake nursing diploma operation that ran through Haitian immigrant networks in South Florida, selling credentials to people who never completed the required nursing coursework or clinical training.
Investigators say the broader scheme involved roughly 15,000 fraudulent nursing diplomas and $250 MILLION.
Many buyers then took nursing board exams, obtained licenses and went to work in healthcare facilities across America.
Forget the money for a second. How many patients were treated by people who never actually completed nursing school?
